SGUADRON L EADER. 0. R GAYFORD. GranT Arpry Bomeig Prane USED IN FyiGHT {n making a non-stop flight from Cranwell, England, to Walfish Bay, South Africa, a distance of 5,341 miles, Squadron Leader O. R. Gayford and his co-pilot, Flight Licutenant G. E. Nicholetts, not valy outdistanced the previous mark of Russell Boardman and John Polando, American fliers, by 327 miles, but also realized a fond dream of the British Air Ministry—that of linking outposts of the Empire with the motherland in & single jump. The British fliérs, both officers of the Royal Air Force, undertook the flight in the regular | course of service duty. Their original goal was Cape Town, but lack of fuel forced their descent just 780 miles short of their objective after they had been in the air for 57 hours and 25 minutes. The plane used \ in the great flight was a Fairey bomber similar to the machine that crashed on the Atlas Mountains in 1929 while attempting a flight to Cape Town. However, many improvements have been made in the craft since the tragedy. Good weather was encountered for the greater part of the flight, but a sand storm over the Sahara Desert forced the fliers 300 miles off their course. At the tike-off from Cranwell, the plane carried more than 1,000 gallons of fuel in tank t in her 82-foot wings, but when she landed at Walfish Bay, there remained only enough for two more hours of flying. Boardman and Polando; the previous distance record | bolders, anvounced that they probably would make another attempi to regain the record for the United States, possibly this vear.
